Growing Tips for Critical Skunk
Critical Skunk is best grown by intermediate growers who have a passion for cannabis cultivation. Critical Skunk marijuana plants will thrive indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to completely control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of the Mediterranean. Critical Skunk cannabis seeds grow into plants with massive buds and tiny leaves. The buds are vibrant green with splashes of orange and are known for being super dense. If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need to hope for consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to completion. Doing so will ensure that you grow healthy buds from the top of the plants to the buds closest to the soil. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow to a medium height and can reach around 2.5-6 feet tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of 6 feet, they can be grown in several different types of grow setups. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 35-50% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage, but lowering the humidity every week will help this plant grow. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are consistent and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Topping and Low-stress training (LST) methods will help these plants grow correctly. These techniques each benefit the plant by increasing the yields and bud production. Both techniques will alter the canopy so that light and air reach the lowest buds on the plant. The Critical Skunk strain requires an 18-20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will induce the flowering stage of growth and ultimately get you to your harvest.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Critical Skunk strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-60 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 750 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 700 grams per plant. The Critical Skunk strain produces massive yields of dank buds.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the beginning of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
Critical Skunk: Earthy and Spicy
The Critical Skunk cannabis strain terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while humulene and delta-3 carene are the secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – This spicy and peppery terpene can be found in cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and some cannabis cultivars.
- Humulene: Secondary Terpene – Commonly found in beer with a high hop content, this terpene gives cannabis an earthy flavor and aroma.
- Delta-3 Carene: Sweet and Earthy – This terpene is commonly found in plants like rosemary, basil, and cedar trees and gives cannabis hints of pine and citrus.

Critical Skunk is a fantastic strain for anyone who wants a relaxed and happy high. I loved the spicy and earthy taste of the buds, and the plants were easy to grow both indoors and outdoors. This strain also helped me with my cramps and insomnia, making it a great choice for medical users.
Critical skunk is there for me when I need it most. Big beautiful nugs form on this tall weed plant, and when you harvest you’ll probably gunk up your tools a bit. It’s a good grow however, with strong smells and very hefty yields. I really really like growing weed. It’s an absolute joy, and I feel even better about it ordering online with pacific Seeds!!
